The library is so busy during the summer time. Now that school is out the kids from around the neighborhood find air conditioning and entertainment at the library. You know that their parents aren't at home--these kids are left to their own devices. It's a push-pull: we want kids to want to come to the library, but we don't want them here all day with no parental supervision.
We put all sorts of programming on during the summer, offer reading incentives, show movies, etc., at our library. But we don't want to be babysitters. It is a real issue--to the point that we had to adopt an Unattended Children policy. Why can't parents be parents?
